Yes, I did a comic character of myself! I have a couple other cutesy cartoon depictions in my gallery (and one unflattering one - "Sour Girl"), but this is the first dynamic one I've done. In the past I had no desire to do cartoon characters of myself. Believe it or not, I was self-conscious over the mere act of drawing them, let alone showing them to anybody - even if my hypothetical audience didn't make the connection. I think that to do cartoons of oneself it takes a degree of self appreciation - or at least a desire to escape. Having done one of these though, I'd recommend everyone give it a try if they haven't yet! It's pretty damn fun.

I drew myself in my typical garb - my favorite skirt, combat boots, and trench coat. I emphasized my most obvious physical traits - long, lean, and with REALLY big damn feet
